Watched ep. 18 now as well (damn you, curiosity
)
Just wanted to see if Rihoko would change - but no, she didn't. Same phlegmatic Rihoko as before, so it's no wonder we have the first snow already and nothing whatsoever happened. He was already farther with the other girls now. (Ok, can't blame him - the other girls were much more interesting
)
Rihoko's two tea club senpai at least try to help her out, but don't succeed there.
All in all, also this is a quite uneventful episode. Rihoko shows no progress, nothing really happens. Only thing is that we see that already as a kid, Rihoko was always hungry
I have to say that Rihoko's arc is the most boring arc yet, with the most boring girl. 6/10
